capacity and performance in the same footprint. See backward

compatibility.

SDLT

Super Digital Linear Tape.

seek

The movement of a read/write head to a specific data track.

self-cleaning head

Found in all DLT tape drives. Tiny ridges on either

side of the DLT drive read/write head continuously wipe the

tape clean as it passes over the head. This is why there is no

periodic cleaning prescribed for DLT tape drives.

server

A powerful computer system with a large capacity tape or hard

disk drive that serves the information access and communication

needs of multiple users.

shelf life

he length of time that media can be stored without losing its

magnetic strength. For Super DLTtape II media, this period is 30

years or more.

shock rating

A rating, expressed in Gs which stands for multiples of

gravity, of how much shock a tape drive can sustain without

damage. Operating and non-operating shock levels are usually

specified separately.

SITE

This command is used for site-specific commands. Compliant to

FTP norm.

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. An e-mail protocol on the Internet

that defines the message format and the message transfer agent.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. A protocol that monitors

and controls a network.

SNTP

Simple Network Time Protocol. SNTP is based on NTP, the

Network Time Protocol, an industry standard way for computers

to synchronize their time to an external reference standard. NTP

and SNTP are fully interoperable. Each consists of a client, for

example the SuperLoader, which obtains the current time (in

UTC) from either an SNTP server or an NTP one. SNTP and NTP

are in wide use on the Internet. NTP is specified by RFC1305.

SNTP is specified by RFC2030.

soft error

A faulty data reading that does not recur if the same data is

reread from the disk or corrected by ECC. Usually caused by

power fluctuations or noise spikes.

SRAM

tatic RAM. A memory chip that requires power to hold its

content.
